Introduction to Symposium on Simmons’ <i>Boundaries of Authority</i>
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
This symposium on A. J. Simmons' book Boundaries of Authority (2016) comes at a propitious time.Political theorists have come to recognize that territoryby which I mean the geographic domain of the state -has been under-theorized in the past, and this is a serious omission.We cannot theorize the state by focusing purely on the relationship between the state and citizens, but must also justify state authority over territory.This is important, not only to have a complete political theory of the state and the international order, but also because many of the conflicts that loom large in the modern world are ones that implicate territory.Political theorists have to grapple with justificatory arguments over territory in order to give a non-arbitrary answer to such questions as how to justify state control over borders, and over resources, how to draw boundaries in cases of contested territory, and what kinds of territorial claims, if any, secessionists are entitled to make.This was argued by A. J. Simmons in a series of early work, beginning in the 1990s (1992, 1995, 2001, 2003), when hardly anyone else was concerned with territory.His early work has been hugely influential in defining the terms and central questions on which all contemporary political theorists of territory draw.More recently, at least since the publication of Kolers and Nine's books in 2009 and 2012, respectively, a number of theorists have taken up this challenge of theorizing territory, and we now have a number of contending theories of territory, which have all used Simmons' analytical categories as a starting point for their arguments.Boundaries of Authority is the most compelling and complete statement of a broadly Lockean theory of territory, with a powerful critique of the dominant Kantian argument.In it, Simmons argues that state authority over territory has to be justified historically, and not purely functionally.His discussion of the destruction and displacement of indigenous rights, and the failure of functionalist understandings of state territory to theorize this wrong, is both powerful and compelling.He places individual and community consent at the centre of his account of political legitimacy, thus connecting with his earlier work (Simmons, 1992(Simmons, , 2001) for which he is justly famous, on state legitimacy.Simmons' positive argument is that state justifications for authority over territory rest on the states' claimed authority over persons, and that we can connect the former with the latter through an historical discussion that is related to individual and collective property claims.This draws inspiration from Locke, who also focused on consent to legitimize the authority of the state.In Locke's account, a legitimate state is formed when property-holders consent to government, and this consent is the consent

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
